examples of SQL Arrays and jdbc?

first, apologies for that blank message i just accidentally sent to the
list.

i'm looking for some decent examples of using the SQL array type with JDBC.
i have a number of arrays of 12 integers which need to come in and out. my
reference right now is the Sun _JDBC API Tutorial and Reference_, and it's
leaving me thinking that the Array/JDBC API is incredibly badly thought
out, e.g. i can extract an int [] easily but i have to convert it to an
Integer [] in order to write it back out. it can't really be this bad, can
it?

thanks,
richard
